You know it's going to be a bad day when your horoscope starts with... 'Are you sitting down?'
Hi! Wow, another beautiful day in the neighborhood! Hey, how about those Brewers! A triple play!!! So exciting! We've got to get to at least one more game before the season is over. There's nothing like watching a game at beautiful Miller Park. And I love stalking Bob Uecker whenever we're there.

As you may know, my husband Scott and I love to travel. One of the things that scares me about staying in hotels is bedbugs. Oh, the horror stories we've heard! If you're sleeping somewhere other than home, beware. Bedbug prevalence is on the rise, and hotels and motels are some of their favorite hangouts. These pesky critters can cause severe itching and welt-like bites, and it's costly to get rid of them if they follow you home. But no need to get freaked out just yet. With these easy tips, you can cut your chances of critter trouble while on the road: 15 Tips For Avoiding Hotel Bedbugs. The number one tip? Store your luggage in the loo.

I love the show 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia'. Did you know that most of the show is improvised? Improv happens on the small screen all the time. On the big screen, not so much. Hmmmm, apparently writers get all bent out of shape when you don't follow the script. That's not to say it never happens. Remember 'the most annoying sound in the world' from Dumb and Dumber? Not in the script. How about 'Warriors...come out to playyayyy?' Totally made up. Check out these and other wonderful unscripted moments from famous movies here with The 25 Greatest Improvised Scenes in Cinema History. Warning: foul language. Duh.

Each summer, we take to the great outdoors for cookouts, ball games, camping trips and a slew of other fun activities. Social events abound and movie blockbusters rake in the cash. I think it's even a law that Adam Sandler and Will Smith are required to put out a movie each summer. As great as summer is, it can't all be bikinis and Long Island Iced Teas. There are a few negative things about the season that no matter how hard we to try to avoid, will return each year. Let me make you feel a little bit better about the pending end of summer with 7 Of The Worst Things About Summer. I'd like to add an 8th if you don't mind. Old guys in Speedos. Just sayin'...

And since I'm in a mushy-gushy mood from all the love this weekend, here's a mush-gushy article from Ned Hardy (no, not Jack Handey) called 'How To Tell If Somebody Loves You'. And remember, somebody will always love you. If you don't think this is true, then you're not paying close enough attention. And as always, I love you!

Did you see the video of that horrible stage collapse in Indiana over the weekend? Just awful! And it happened so fast! I remember at Rockfest one year when ZZ Top was playing there was a huge windstorm that came out of nowhere. The stage was fine but a LOT of people lost their tents and lawn chairs. Scary stuff. From the looks of things the weather was pretty wicked. And although there's not a lot you can do about the weather, there are some things you can do to keep safe at an outdoor venue. Here are some Outdoor Concert Safety Tips for you and your family. Bless. =

Pranks have been a part of professional sports for as long as they have existed. From fans pranking the fans of other teams to athletes messing with their fellow teammates, pranks seem to be the hilarious and mostly harmless way for fans and athletes alike to blow off a little bit of steam. These pranks range from rearranging another team's flip cards to spell out something different to convincing a fellow teammate he has been traded to a team in a foreign country. Here is a list of 20 Of The Greatest Pranks In Sports History.

I have a lot of friends who are teachers. One of the hardest jobs in the world as far as I'm concerned. Getting students to understand, remember or even just care about a given concept can be a challenge for teachers. But there are fun ways to reach students and make even the most boring of concepts fun. One such way is through academic songs - more specifically, raps - many of which have been making the rounds on the web. Here are a few gems that will help you or your students learn everything, from literature to basic math, with a few laughs thrown in for good measure. Here are the 25 Funniest Academic Raps on YouTube.

Hey there! You're looking mighty fine today! My friend Barbie from the Market Bar in Sparta had a nice treat for us when we stopped in last night. A big bag of cucumbers! When I was growing up we always called cucumbers pickles. How about you? Cukes or pickles? Whatever you call them I can't wait to make a nice cucumber salad. I use cukes, mayo, sugar, dill and milk. Sometimes I ad bacon and tomatoes too. YUMMM!!! I love harvest season!

The funny Christmas movie is difficult to pull off, just ask Vince Vaughn and Fred Claus. I think the only movies to ever accomplish this feat are Bad Santa, Elf, A Christmas Story, and of course National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. However Harold and Kumar are going to attempt to bring their hijinx and hilarity to the holidays. Trust me, the trailer for 'A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas' will make you merry!

I am SO glad I didn't see this video before we flew to Nevada last week. A passenger on a Delta flight from Madison to Atlanta took this video of what looks like a big-ass bat flying around in the passenger section. The plane was diverted back to Madison, where the passengers were rebooked. The plane was searched, but they never found the animal. Ok, on our flight home we had a guy pass out and almost die, a flight attendant almost break her leg and turbulence from Hell...that I can handle. A BAT???? No WAY!!!

When your life has been rocked by major events, like illness, job loss or foreclosure, it's likely that the last thing you want to do is stoke the flames of passion.

Just the other day, I was asked if I like zucchini, because someone wanted to give me some. No! No way! Because I know they would bring at least a bushel, and then return with more. Zucchini is notoriously easy to grow and provides a bountiful harvest. Therefore, those who grow it have a lot to share. That's why today is Sneak Some Zucchini onto Your Neighbors' Porch Day.
